The requirement covers surveys, testing, geotechnical investigations and associated reporting. The purpose is to gather the information needed to support the refurbishment design, including details of the bridge foundations, and to inform any future temporary works design required for lifting operations near Network Rail tracks. The work will be delivered at Railway Street Footbridge in Yorkshire and the Humber. This is a specialist consultancy commission rather than a construction contract: the expected outputs are technical investigation data and reports that can be used by the council and its design and delivery partners in planning the bridge refurbishment and related railway-interface works. The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline set by the buyer is 11 September 2026 at 1:00pm. The contract is scheduled to run from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2027. Its estimated value is £100,000. The procurement is for services and is presented as a single requirement rather than separate lots. Bidders are being sought for the full package of surveys, testing, geotechnical investigation and reporting associated with the footbridge. The resulting technical information must support refurbishment design and inform temporary works planning for lifting operations beside Network Rail tracks. This opportunity suits a suitably qualified geotechnical or civil engineering consultancy with the capability to plan and carry out site surveys, ground investigations and testing, interpret findings and produce clear engineering reports. Relevant experience should include assessing bridge or other transport infrastructure foundations and providing information that can be taken into refurbishment design. Suppliers should also be able to understand temporary works requirements and the constraints of lifting operations adjacent to an operational railway, including the need to work with Network Rail requirements. The council has identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it potentially accessible to smaller specialist consultancies with the necessary technical expertise, quality controls and delivery capacity. ## Notice North East Lincolnshire Council is seeking a suitably qualified consultant to carry out surveys, testing, geotechnical investigations and reports for Railway Street Footbridge. The overall goal is to have all information needed for refurbishment design (including foundation details) and to inform a future temporary works design as required by Network Rail for lifting works etc adjacent to their tracks. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4d18379f-315a-4af6-b925-45fbd49a4c5a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 11 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Oct 2026 - 4 Oct 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | North East Lincolnshire Borough Council | | Locality | GRIMSBY, NORTH EAST LINCOLNSHIRE | | Postcode area | Doncaster | | Postcode | DN31 1HU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE1 East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire | | ITL 3 | TLE13 North and North East Lincolnshire | | Local authority | North East Lincolnshire | | Electoral ward | West Marsh | | Westminster constituency | Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ## Release History - 19 Aug 2026 at 15:01 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4d18379f-315a-4af6-b925-45fbd49a4c5a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4d18379f-315a-4af6-b925-45fbd49a4c5a 19th August 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=108364&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/103294 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.nelincs.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
